Navid read the thread, the Zalman actually gives lower case temps than the NV5.

I'd personally go for the Zalman GPU cooler. Theres quite a bit of info in this thread.

Hi, I've been looking into build a new system based on the AMD64 CPU. The supplier I use now has an AMD64 3200+ (running at 2.2ghz) but only 512K cache for £50 cheaper than the regular AMD64 3200+ with 1 meg cache. I'm tempted to go with the 2.2ghz version as its quite a bit cheaper. Has...

Connection speed depends on two things in general: 1) Line Quality 2) Modem compatibility with your ISP Basically phone line quality is an easy one you normally have a good line or you dont. Your telephone company can change settings on the line but this rarely has any effect, the only way to...

Make sure the line upto your adsl only has a filter on the very end, then plug computer into dsl socket on filter and phone into the other. All other sockets branching off need a filter if being used with a telephony device, but it is very important not to plug any extension into a filter...

Wasn't the NV35 just the supposed spring refresh of the NV30, basically higher clock speed etc to go up against the R350. They've shrunk to 0.13micron and still having probs I dont see how they can increase the clock that much, without attaching a fridge. Although I maybe wrong. However if the...

Isnt it the same every year with intel? Demand simply outweighs how many they can supply to the market for xmas period.

I get my new ATI 7500 yesterday to replace my Radeon 32 Mb DDR. Its a supergrace radeon 7500, only cost £83. I opened box and I actually got a proper ATI card which was cool. Plugged card in everything went well. Loaded power strip and the card is clocked at 270core 460mem, so I'd tried it at...
